Calf Enhancement

Calf enhancement / augmentation is a plastic surgery procedure designed to increase the volume and enhance the shape of the calf area.

The procedure is popular among sufferers of conditions which facilitate underdeveloped calves including congenital defects, polio, spina bifida and clubfoot.

The Surgery

Calf augmentation usually is performed by fat transfer using your own fat, or by placing an implant over the muscles.

The surgery is performed by making a fine incision at the back of the knee and thus is nicely hidden. You will be going home the same day of surgery.

After Surgery

The patient will be encouraged to walk immediately after surgery with stockings. The stockings must be worn for 2- 3 weeks after surgery. Walking will be slightly uncomfortable for few days. Wearing high heels often helps with pain. You will be prescribed pain killers to go home with.

Getting You Back To Work And Normal Activities

You will be able to go back to work within 3-5 days as long as it does not require long distance walking, running, cyclising or heavy lifting.

You should be back to full, unrestricted activity within 4-6 weeks.
